“Love this keypad, documentation is pretty good for programming it.
My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide some more coding guides aimed towards beginners I would love to give one to my nephew but I don't think the guides are oriented towards novices”
“Using this a macropad for tiling window management and gaming. Works wonderfully. Not that proficient at programming myself but was able to find some suitable code on github to play with and now have custom keymaps on 4 separate layers. Brilliant little thing.
Pimoroni you could shake up the custom mech keyboard market with a full ortholinear version version, or a 6x8 version of this (two to make a split kb?) 3D printable tented cases? :D”
“A great macropad with infinite flexibility if you know, or are willing to learn, Python.
I modified mine, via CircuitPython, to offer multiple layers with long/short press of any key. I also added a "mouse jiggler" mode which can be toggled on to keep the mouse moving (thus avoiding timeouts/screen locks).
I use this every day for Visual Studio, IntelliJ or just media controls.”
“After the Elgato Stream Deck XL did fail to work miserably, I remembered having the Keybow 2040. After a little bit of programming, the Keybow 2040 is now a reliable partner in live streaming and gaming.”
“Used it to make a little midi chord player. Works great, easy to put together and feels good - for musical applications would recommend some o ring dampeners to keep it extra quiet.”
“Perfect additional keyboard for custom actions. Small and lightweight, those lit buttons are a sensational tool (or toy!).
Assembly is a breeze, and default firmware is already loaded so you're all set in a few minutes.
The library is quite comprehensive and the most common code files (keyboard, midi) are already provided so it is really easy to start working with it or preparing your own custom layout.”
